Research clans rely even more on collaborative research and transfer
For the second funding phase, the Center of Excellence had called on researchers at the science location Dortmund to apply for admission to the research clans with creative and future-oriented projects - with great success.
We promote research and development work at the Dortmund location on high-impact topics.
The Center of Excellence Logistics and IT is currently in its third funding phase. Based on the Industry 4.0 expertise at the location, the stakeholders further developed forward-looking research topics within a clear thematic framework, set up roadmaps for the future and set the course for transfer. The current thematic focus is on the development of a »Center for Safety of Autonomous Systems in Logistics CeSaS«, driven by interdisciplinary research groups, the so-called research clans, in which various labs and test centers are being established.
Third funding phase

Cognitive Ergonomics
Design of socio-technical systems
Autonomous logistic systems
In this research clan, the development of the infrastructure and the commissioning of the so-called PACE Lab are on the agenda. In der Testumgebung können innovative Verfahren zur Ortung und Lokalisierung im industriellen Maßstab agil entwickelt und validiert werden.

Workstreams
Workstream 1: Autonomous multi-robot systems
Based on the testbeds for autonomous intralogistic transport systems, further sub-goals such as the evaluation of various algorithms from the fields of mapping and navigation are derived. The practical implementation of the theoretical principles developed so far in the field of communication in distributed systems also takes place in this workstream.
Workstream 2: AI for controlling logistics systems
We are concerned with the targeted use of large amounts of data in order to use the acquired information for intelligent algorithms in the planning and control of logistics systems. A future technology is the combination of methods of simulation and optimization with methods from the field of artificial intelligence and machine learning.
Workstream 3: Modelling of human behaviour in logistic systems
The goal of the workstream is the typologization of actors and the development of a software-based model object for mapping relevant behavioral aspects in logistics systems. This creates the basis for increasing the accuracy of the actors in the modelling of logistics systems, with their decisions and characteristics, in the future.
Workstream 4: IT for the Silicon Economy
The networking of research results from the areas of the social networked industry and the smart shop floor with the practical experience of the Fraunhofer IML with the knowledge from various IT and industry 4.0 studies takes place in this workstream. This creates the possibility of being able to offer a state-of-the-art range of services in the field of IT for the Silicon Economy in the future
